8 LOB. The bats aren't the problem; timely hitting is the problem. If Pedey doesn't boot that routine DP in the 2nd, this is a game. Unfortunate mistakes but in no way does this game resemble a 7-1 deficit.

Channel has been changed to watch a team with heart. NFL Network is re-airing the Pats/Saints game.

You are a joke! Really? The Sox have no heart?

Something with them is really missing.

If you stopped watching they wouldn't be missing a fan, that's for sure.

Farrell screwed the goat in leaving Peavy in as long as he did. He almost did it last night when Drew got that hit in the 8th inning and he did not have Middlebrooks bunt. That was a bunt situation last night and we were lucky it did not come back to haunt us in a 1-0 game.

===============================

Do you recall in Game 2 vs Tampa when it was 0-0 and Maddon pulled the pitcher, Hellickson, when we had the bases loaded. Crazy as he may be, he recognized that the pitcher didn't have it & we ended up only scoring 2 runs in that inning. Do you think maybe after 3 walks that Farrell might have considered pulling Peavy. Yup I do know thay if Pedey don't botch it we could hav gotten with 1 run instead of it ending up 5. But the key was walking in a run by walking their worst batter. Let him hit & maybe we'd get a DP.

We didn't score any runs in that Tampa game in the inning Madden yanked Hellickson.

Farrell is nothing compared to Joe Maddon. Maddon is a good manager, Farrell is an amateur.

We are out hitting them 8-6. The walks and Pedey's fielding are what killed us.

==================================

You are correct. The 7 runs came on 6 hits, 3 walks(all scored) & an error. But you know, without the aforementioned they'd probably be ahead 2-1 or 3-1 and we would be tense & miserable with our 8 hits/1 run, men LOB and no key hit. Maybe the blowout is better than being frustated with men LOB or as Pumpsie says "LOBsters".

Not usually on the board but this game sucks..I mean I expected Peavy to battle and I thought we would have the upper hand in the pitching match up..brutal. The momentum in this series changes from game to game..

If baseball games were won on managing alone, the SOX would have been swept.

I expected him to pitch a lot better than he did. He stunk the place out tonight.

His control was off for sure after the long lay off but I wonder how it would have turned out for him if the DP was turned as it should have been.

Horrible outing by Peavy. Bad managing by Farrell who did not use a quick hook. Hitters still doing a choke job in the series but for Ortiz in Game 2 and Salty. Drew and Middlebrooks have disappeared. This game's gone. Time to regroup for tomorrow vs Sanchez against whom a different batting lineup and strategy will be needed; otherwise, it'll be more of the same!

What kills me about the Tigers is that Verlander was at 92MPH at the end of the season, now against Oakland he was back up to 96-98 MPH. Peralta missed 50 games and came back in the payoffs like he did not miss a beat. I thought Cabrera was hurt with a hip injury and yet he is able to steal a base and make a running barehanded grab. Anybody else notice this with this team?
